The AVS/Express Parallel Edition provides a framework for parallel computation on multi-processor and networked computers. The computation is distributed across shared memory or clustered processor architectures using MPICH for Windows and Linux and via MPI on SGI systems.

Parallel Edition modules can co-exist with AVS/Express network modules, allowing existing applications to progressively utilize the results of the evolving Parallel Edition development program.
 
  a AVS/Express users who require high performance desktop processing.
  a AVS/Express Multipipe Editions users who require parallel computation performance to enhance their immersive environment applications.
  a Grid users who would benefit from a distributed parallel computational and rendering environment available across the Grid.
  a Corporate and institutional application developers using AVS/Express as the basis for advanced applications that wish to create a customized and proprietary modules that leverage the power of Parallel Edition distributed processing.
  a AVS/Express Parallel Edition is productized using PST developed by JAEA.
 
  a Runs on SGI® Onyx2® and Prism® multipipe systems, HP-SVA Visualization Clusters and high performance clustered PCs running either Windows® or Linux.

  
  a AVS/Express Parallel Edition augments AVS/Express Multipipe Edition and becomes compatible with panoramic theaters, caves or immersive bench systems, as well as stereo displays with dynamic head-motion tracking and 6 degree-of-freedom wand control.
